As part of the Bianca C 50th anniversary celebrations a local artist, Troy Lewis, created a beautiful replica of the “Christ of the Deep” statue donated by the Costa Cruise Lines to thank the Grenadian people for their generosity all those years ago in opening their homes successfully rescuing over 600 people.  The ‘new’ Christ of the Deep was blessed on the anniversary weekend at the end of October and has been on display in the Careenage in St George’s since.  This Thursday the statue will be moved to her new home in our very own – and the world’s first – underwater sculpture park in Molinere Bay.  With efforts led by the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Management group (GUSMI) and assistance from Seafaris Grenada, Eco Dive and the Grenada Coast Guard we will be seeing this fabulous statue underwater by this coming weekend.  We wish a speedy, safe and successful move to all involved.  Seen below are pictures from the blessing ceremony and pictures of Christ of the Deep in his new resting place will follow soon!
